THE fears and anxieties of Vienna in the final years before the outbreak of the Great War found expression in the writing of Freud, the music of Gustav Mahler and the haunting paintings of Klimt, Kokoschka and Schiele.
Douglas Skeggs – writer, artist, TV presenter and lecturer to many London art courses – will be exploring this fascinating era for the March lecture of the Neroche DFAS season.
He will trace the course of this brief, often dark but always dazzlingly inventive period of art.
The lecture, in the theatre at Dillington House, Ilminster, is on March 2 and will begin at 7.15pm.
Visitors are welcome to attend up to two meetings per season for a suggested donation of £5 per visit and there is no need to book.
